With Pushpa 2’s grand release, and crossing 500 Cr to date, Rashmika remains not just a National Crush status but also a bankable actress for the makers.
In 2016, Rashmika participated in Lamode
Bangalore’s top model hunt where she caught the eyes of the makers of the film
'Kirik Party' who offered her a lead role in the film. Rashmika made her acting
debut in 2016 with the Kannada film Kirik Party opposite Rakshit Shetty. The

since the films provided limited scope to showcase her acting abilities.

marked Rashmika Mandanna’s first on-screen collaboration with the south
superstar Thalapathy Vijay. She almost starred in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film and
was offered the role of Charu, Vijay’s on-screen love interest. But, Rashmika
Mandanna rejected the blockbuster due to prior commitments. Eventually, the role
fell into the lap of Malavika Mohanan. Master released in 2021 which emerged as
a massive box office success as the action thriller earned between Rs 250-300 crore.
Rashmika Mandanna got another chance to
work with Thalapathy Vijay in 'Varisu' the action drama which earned an
impressive Rs 310 crore despite mixed reviews. Mandanna revealed once, that she
had a huge crush on Vijay and wanted to work with the South superstar, while
her dream came true with 'Varisu'.
Interestingly, Rashmika and Allu Arjun
starrer 'Pushpa: The Rise was released in 2021 in theatres, which too became a
massive hit at the box office. Mandanna earned wider recognition for her role

supporting role in the period drama 'Sita Ramam' (2022). She expanded her wings
towards Hindi cinema and had her highest-grossing release with the action drama
